Girls, would you go to a sporting event on a first date with a guy?

Question

That wouldn't be the entire date, by the way. There would be other things you'd do as part of the date.

A sporting event like a baseball game etc. is a horrible idea for a first date. However... it is a GREAT idea for a second date, etc.

A first date should be about conversation. Getting to know someone and creating an intimate bond with someone. Because you are sitting so close to people in public, you can't have the type of deep conversation you would normally have at like a restaurant or a bar. I usually say that a couple drinks at a bar is the best first date idea. Going to a coffee shop is very friendzone. Meeting someone at a bar at night has a more romantic vibe. Pretty much anything at night with the subconscience possibility of sex is a better romantic idea.

A sporting event is a great date idea for other dates if the lady is into sports. Only if she says she likes sports in the first date. A baseball game can drag on and be boring unless its the playoffs. But it is a playful change in things to plan that will keep things fun and easy going. I say on the second date you want to go away from the formality of the first date to see that person's fun and playful side. So a sporting event, mini golfing, bowling, a game bar, wine tasting, leaning to paint.. all fun.

Best date I've ever been on? ROCK CLIMBING! There is something about facing fear and danger together along with cooperative challenge that drives up the sexual chemistry to one thousand. I think the fear in rock climbing forces an element of trust. That is guaranteed to make both people horny for each other.

I would not invite a lady to a sporting event for a first date unless I specifically knew that she was a fan of the particular sport being played. For a first date, I always stick with a dinner date and perhaps a drink at a quiet lounge/live music later.

About a year ago, I invited a fellow G@Ger to come to my hometown for a college football bowl game. I know that she is a football fan. I had the tickets and I really wanted to meet her. Initially, she was excited about the idea and I was eager to meet her. Unfortunately, she got cold feet and it never happened. I gave the tickets to a friend so he and his wife could attend. I wish she had followed through with our plan, but. . . we have both moved on in relationships, so I will probably never meet her.

Yes! I went to a hockey game on a first date (my choice). It was very exciting and calmed my nerves a bit since I was in my element.

I did have a guy ask me to a baseball game for our first date... I don’t think I could sit 9 innings if we don’t happen to click.

I’m not into sports but I think going to a live sporting event would be exciting so yes.

witherwing · Answer

Depends. A lot of sporting events are kinda expensive around here, especially hockey, which I would consider the most interesting. I prefer a first date to be free or cost only a little. That being said, for example rugby is often free to watch. I've been on a rugby date before (although not a first date) and it was fun.

jennifer_bloom · Answer

It sounds like a lot of fun but the closest sporting location is about 2 hours from my house and I am not sure I want to travel that far to meet someone I don't know very well - what if they turn out to be a creep? If I meet somebody new - I prefer to meet very close to my house so if things turn sour - I can immediately get home.

coachTanthony · Answer

First dates should be short and sweet unless you have already met in a bar or other venue and found chemistry before hand. There is nothing worse than a long ass date to NOWHERE especially when you know in the first hour... it isn't happening!

Allie_Oops · Answer

As long as it is not baseball or golf, sure, why not?

tony_baloney · Answer

I know I'm not a girl, but that's kind of a bad idea for a first date. Not that it couldn't be fun, or even hurt your chances with someone who has a high interest in you, but a first date should be some place where you can get to know that person. To figure out if she is someone you even want to invest that time with. Your focus should be on getting her to open up, ask her questions, keep her talking, and really listen. Don't talk really about yourself, be mysterious. Let her ask and be curious, don't just spill your guts all over the floor. She'll ask questions as she becomes more curious. She'll feel special knowing you want to really know and connect with her. I'd pick somewhere you can look each other in the eye, talk, and see if they're even someone that's good for you. Then blow money on an expensive good time for the two of you. Then you're not blowing all your cash on first dates too haha. Food for thought.

Silverstar113 · Answer

I am not that into sports but if I am interested in this guy I would want to know about his interests and whether will it interest me as well. Since I am not a fan of sports, I never intentionally watch any sport games so going to a sporting event might or might not be interesting for me. This is a great opportunity to know if this date will proceed into anything further because if the event managed to spark my interest, we would have a lot to talk about and i could learn a lot about it from him. But likewise, if I don't find it amusing, it will be good to reconsider the whole date thing and whether or not we should proceed.

BrittBratt2416 · Answer

I rather not, cause one I don't care for sports and two how do you expect to get to know one another if you're watching a game most of the time? It's going to be crowded, loud because of fans screaming, announcers are talking and a whole bunch of movement is going on. It's not a personal setting with you one on one where you can just talk and get to know one another. I think maybe after a couple of dates, like the 3rd or 4th date is fine but not the first date.

lifelearner011 · Answer

I'd love to, just to see how he "enjoys" sports in general. It would be also a nice mediator to see him more in a relaxed environment, yet I'd expect that we would to something much calmer after as enjoying a nice lunch or going to a relaxed park where we could chat.

ncityygirlc · Answer

One of my first few dates was also at a sporting event. I didn't particularly like it, I just went with it, because my date liked it, and it was a public activity, nothing too private or intimate. I'm not really into sports, so it wasn't too fun for me. I know how to be a good cheerleader, though.

fauchelevent · Answer

I guess but I don't think I'd really enjoy it. I have no interest in any sports and it's a loud, busy environment that I won't feel comfortable in. I'd go if that's what the other person wanted to do, it's just not my thing, especially not a first date.

Sheep_Dog · Answer

From a guys perspective, I wouldn't want to take a first date to a sporting event, like to keep those somewhere near home, simple, lasting around an hour, and low cost in case we just not comparable, or just really weird.
Also I just don't care to watch sports, like to play sports but I guess I just don't like to live through others

Clo917 · Answer

Eh, I don't really care for sports so I'd understand nothing that was going on in the game, but I'd go if he wanted to as long as it wasn't the entire date.

PossiblyInsane · Answer

I'm not generally a fan of sporting events, but I do like auto races, if that counts. Hockey's not bad either

happyhippo · Answer

I'm not a big sports fan and I don't understand much about sports, but it'd be something different and interesting, so why not.

smg99 · Answer

It’s a relaxed area and we don’t feel the pressure to be the conversation starters in an uptight interviewer situation;) which I dread esp I like that you get the guy at his happiest state with no awkwardness.

weysally · Answer

well I'm married so I wouldn't go on a date but I see no reason why, to start with it may give you a better insight about your date and vice versa you need to be able to judge for your self what your date is like

x_Pretty_x · Answer

Sure why not. If a guy was nice enough to ask me out to something he enjoyed I'd be all for it. There could be other dates for other stuff, so that isn't a problem with me.

Lish89 · Answer

I think it's great! The guy is trying to share with you something he enjoys and that's an awesome way to introduce yourself. Plus if you are a sports fan and on opposing teams it could be lots of fun!

Lovvyyy · Answer

Hell no! I think he would be more interested in the match than talking with me and getting to know each other. What a horrible idea!

DakotaNorth · Answer

It depends on the sport. The high excitement of bowling may be way too intense.

Lolli2 · Answer

If I liked the guy enough, then yes, sure. Although in general, watching sports is not my thing, so if that were his main passion in life we probably wouldn't work out.

spunkygiraffe · Answer

It might be too distracting to really get to know the guy well, I have no problem with sports events though as a possible later date idea.

Ellie-V · Answer

No, because I know good and well i wouldn’t enjoy myself. Five minutes in, and I’ll be walking out to leave whether he wants to go or not😂

Bicuriouswe · Answer

It's nice to see what the guy is into, even if it's not really my thing, it's still fun to see them get excited

weirdoweirdo · Answer

God no... I hate sports... But if its for her? I'll force myself.

LittleRedKat · Answer

Depends on the sport. I prefer to play most of them instead of watching.

kittyluv · Answer

wouterv · Answer

I will try to take a girl to a football/soccer match i will let you know the result i maybe take me a while

Chaz269 · Answer

Geezus. Are there any live sports events brief enough for a first date? I don't think so. Plus, any desire to follow the action would distract from the getting acquainted, and vice versa.
I'm certain that's not a good idea for me.

Dark93 · Answer

Id never take a girl to a sporting event, I am not a fan of sports

Aynsof · Answer

Well not a girl so absolutely cannot speak for them  Also not a big sports fan But I would have to say that unless you know the girl is into sports that is a pretty poor idea for a date

Kayla45 · Answer

Here in Canada hockey is pretty popular.

Jamie05rhs · Answer

No offense, but I think this would be a terrible idea for a date (unless you think your rowdy, "animal", side is your best foot forward.)
